Chicago Mags- O’Hare to Union Station:Tight Time Frame. How screwed am I?

[seano732]

Alright guys here’s the deal: Scheduled to land at 5pm at O’Hare this Friday. Have a 6:40 train out of Union Station to South Bend. The Internets have time ranging from 45-90 minutes estimated from O’Hare to Union Station.......What say the Chicago collective? Totally doable or totally fucked? Mrs. Seano is freaking out already......

[Soups]

Fucked. Probably.

Blue line will take an 1hr minimum

[seano732]

Seriously?

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

that's ugly, pony up the $$ and catch a commuter flight from ORD to SBN

[seano732]

What about the SSL out of Milennium?

[Soups]

Hopefully not checking a bag and sitting in the front of the plane. If everything goes smooth with no delays *ohare cough* it could be done.

[seano732]

Not checking bags. Is it quicker to get to Milennium than Union on the CTA?

Cheapest I could find was $250/per. Fuck that.

Yeah it's steep if you don't have miles to cash in, but sanity is worth something. Have a good plan B.

The google says it’s 114 mile drive. Why not rent a car?

[Lahar]

Uber/Lyft?

You’re fucked...”scheduled” is relative at O’Hare, you could have a 25 min taxi once you land.

Maybe rent a small car and just return it once you get to SB, that can’t be more than $75 for the 3-4 hour rental

Book a room in DTown, Have a nice relaxed evening. See what your traveling options are for the next Day. Chicago is very nice to visit this time of year. I recommend Greek Town. To add Rush Hours on Friday? It is not happening, Exclamation Point

Trains r so lame. Why did you let yourself get talked into using them?

This country could and should have a functional rail system. Other countries do and they do it well. I much prefer the ease of rail travel over airplanes.

O'Hare is notoriously avoided as a layover on account of its clusfertuckness.

United gave me a free ticket once to take a later flight from Denver and avoid Chicago altogether. Things were all fubar at O'Hare that dAy.

[seano732]

So basically what I'm hearing is we are fucked.

take your time, grab dinner near Union Station, catch the 9:30 and arrive later.

What if the train was delayed because of a suspicious package call?
